From the BoF, a couple of options emerged, not in any particular order. One is requesting maintainership for immediate merge needs re: DrupalForge, mentoring vscode extension, etc... Two is to rethink DrupalPod with a focus on dev containers in general, which will should make it more flexible to switch platforms. We need to set a date by which we decide which solution will be the one we concentrate on. What date should that be? :one: :three: Europe Mentor Box — New mentor banner hopefully in progress. :one: :four: Mentor tickets?
